You create a 15 slide masterpiece, complete with stunning digital images, flashy animations and the perfect background music. Your presentation looks so professional that your boss is going to w
    Every community has 'em. Fast talkers who roll into town with a clever idea to sell to people in business.

    Many times the ideas are clever and cute but you should weigh the ups and downs of every offer before you dig out the checkbook. Most of these in-town-for-a-day people want their cash up front.

    Some of the common ways to separate you from your cash are:

    Coupon Books

    They offer to put you in a giant coupon book to be sold for the needy charity or Lions Club. Books are sold on the phone for $29 and delivered by the Boy Scouts. Watch out for errors and missing expirations once the operation has moved to another town.

    Telephone Book Covers

    They wrap around the book and the callers see your ad every time they reach for the book. Might be OK if you own the wrecker service, locksmith or funeral home, but run the other way if you have a grocery, Mickey Dees, or bank.

    Your ad goes somewhere around the edge of the map. You might get pitched by several companies. Some look better than others, most are very pricey. Pick up maps like these when you see them and decide if you'd do business with anyone on the map because of the ad. Distribution is the selling point. Placement is the bug-a-boo.

    Bibles for Newlyweds

    I wish I had thought of this one 30 years ago. I would be clipping coupons instead of writing about it.
